Cry gay

As often as queer lives are defined by celebration, they are equally defined by struggle — and there’s no shortage of stories that expose those struggles to the world.

Remember to join us for the next livestream chat and share some recommendations of your own.

Which of these serious LGBTQ movies is your favorite? Yeah. *slap!* *moans* Y-yes.....yes.....I will count them.....

I think that could help. That it’s not okay to have these expressions,

just keep pushing through that and, and breathe into it was, you know, really, really powerful for me. Yeah. And what I would do is I would, I would kind of sit there and this is when I was practicing crying, and I would just have my hands on my body. So yeah, crying has been hugely, hugely beneficial, which is why I was like, I wanna do an episode about this.

I would repress with a swallow. If we’re dissociated and we’re in our mind and we’re numbed out from our body, it’s gonna be really,

really hard to cry and to connect with our emotions. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That was a good, a good realization to have. This coming-of-age drama follows the character of Chiron during three stages of his life, as he battles with the acceptance of his own sexual identity, as well as the pressure of the narrow-minded society around him.

We use these body responses to release energy caused by the activity of the mind and the experiences of the body. And I didn’t realize what it was is it was all this stuff inside of me that was being shamed. *tiny, wheezing pants* *pause* *Sharp gasp* AHHHH~ hhhAHHAAA!~ *Sobbing pants and moans* *slap!* Ah-ah!

I need to learn about this.

Yeah. It feels very intense and, but that’s the, that’s, that’s the, that’s the beauty of it all. I don’t know whether it’s grief or you know, whatever’s going on, but like there’s a buildup that kind of tends to still happen,

that I’ll come to a wall and I’ll be like, Oh, I need to cry.

One of the first titles to come up was, naturally, Call Me By Your Name.

And that was really the like kind of the birthplace of like my, the start of my healing journey, you know? You know what I mean? And then I was like sitting on the couch and watching an episode of Brothers and Sisters and like, I remember that show just being so good and I don’t even remember what happened, but I just like started bawling and crying my eyes out.

Maybe it was something to do with like the gay, the gay brother and his husband Luke McFarland played the gay husband.

I'll be good....I swear! T-two..... Like we can celebrate joy.
